Field Security Engineer

Most companies are racing to deploy AI, but very few have the foundation to make it work reliably. Atlan is building that missing layer: the context layer for enterprise AI. We connect the business context behind data so humans and agents can operate with far more accuracy and confidence.

With backing from world-class investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Meritech, Peak XV, and Salesforce Ventures, we've earned the trust of most AI-forward enterprises like General Motors, Nasdaq, Workday and Elastic.

Come build the infrastructure that AI runs on.

Security is a reason Atlan's customers say yes. This role is why. You'll be the technical security voice customers hear on calls and read in their reviews, the engineer who builds the systems that make those reviews faster and increasingly self-serve, and a contributor to the compliance program that keeps Atlan trustworthy at enterprise scale.

As Atlan builds Context Studio and an agentic, MCP-based platform, the security conversations you lead are increasingly about AI itself: how agents behave, how context and data are governed, and what enterprise customers need to feel confident deploying AI in their stack.

Roughly half your week is direct customer security work. The rest is building.

• →

  You've done customer-facing security work at a B2B SaaS company and can hold a credible technical conversation with an enterprise security team without losing accuracy or composure when the deal is on the line.

• →

  You've built AI agents in production. Not prototypes, not prompts in a notebook. Real systems that replaced manual work in compliance, triage, evidence collection, or questionnaire automation.

• →

  You understand AI and LLM security deeply enough to explain it to a customer: prompt injection, agent guardrails, MCP exposure, model and data risks, and where frameworks like ISO 42001 apply.

• →

  You identify the gap, build the fix, and close the loop. You don't wait for someone else to execute on a commitment you made on a call.

• →

  You're comfortable working evening IST hours to overlap with US and EU customers. This is a real part of the role, not occasional.

• Hands-on experience with automation platforms like n8n or Tines

• Working knowledge of SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, or GDPR
